Ingredients:

• 300g smoked beef brisket or rib, shredded or diced
• 1 small onion, very finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• Olive oil
• 1 ½ c beef stock
• 1 tbsp Good quality BBQ sauce
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp cornflour (optional)
• Freshly ground pepper
• Puff pastry
• Smoked cheddar

Instructions:

• Add the finely diced onion and garlic in to a deep sided saucepan with a glug of olive oil and sauté over a low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent.
• Add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce and simmer for 8-10 minutes until reduced and glossy.
• Gently stir through the smoked brisket, and simmer for an additional 5-8 minutes until your desired pie filling consistency is reached.
• Optional: depending on your ingredients, you may wish to add a very small amount of cornflour to the stock base to help thicken your filling.
• Set your filling aside to cool for 10-15 minutes, and prepare your chosen pie dish or pie maker by lining it with flaky pastry.
• Fill your pie dish with a generous scoop of brisket filling, top with a generous amount of your chosen cheese, add a pastry lid, and cook until golden brown and hot.
• We alternate cooking these in pie dishes in the oven at 180 fan bake, or in a pie maker (don’t preheat) for 12-15 minutes.
• This mix works well with other combinations like beef and blue cheese or cheddar.
